Given :-

Raj purchased an article for Rs420 .
He sold it for Rs 420 .

To Find :-

The profit or loss percentage .

Solution :-

Here the cost price for Raj is Rs 400 and Selling price is Rs420 .

Here since SP > CP , so there's a profit .

→ Profit = SP - CP

→ Profit = Rs420 - Rs400

→ Profit = Rs 20

Now we can calculate the profit% as ,

→ Profit/CP * 100

→ Rs 20/ Rs 400 * 100 %

→ 20/4%

→ 5%

Hence the profit is 5% .

I hope this helps .

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of the article = Rs 400

Selling price of the article = Rs 420

As, S.P > C.P

Profit = S.P – C.P

= Rs( 420 – 400)

⠀⠀⠀= Rs 20

So,

Profit percent = (20/400 × 100)%

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ = (20/4) %

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ = 5 %

A quadratic function and an exponential function are graphed below. How do the decay rates of the functions compareover the inte

Kobotan [32]

To check the decay rate, we need to check the variation in y-axis.

Since our interval is

$-2We need to evaluate both function at those limits.At x = -2, we have a value of 4 for both of them, at x = 0 we have 1 for the exponential function and 0 to the quadratic function. Let's call the exponential f(x), and the quadratic g(x).[tex]\begin{gathered} f(-2)=g(-2)=4 \\ f(0)=1 \\ g(0)=0 \end{gathered}$

To compare the decay rates we need to check the variation on the y-axis of both functions.

$\begin{gathered} \Delta y_1=f(-2)-f(0)=4-1=3 \\ \Delta y_2=g(-2)-g(0)=4-0=4 \end{gathered}$

Now, we calculate their ratio to find how they compare:

$\frac{\Delta y_1}{\Delta y_2}=\frac{3}{4}$

This tell us that the exponential function decays at three-fourths the rate of the quadratic function.

And this is the fourth option.

Which of the following best represents the average speed of a fast runner?

Tpy6a [65]

For the answer to the question above, the easiest way to determine is changing every runner's speed into the same unit.

First = 10 m/s 

Second = 10 miles/min = 16090.34 / 60 m/s (As 1 mile = 1609.34 meter and 1 min = 60 sec) 
Second = 260.82 m/s 

Third = 10 cm/hr = 10*(0.01)/60*60 (As 1 cm = 0.01 m and 1 hr = 60*60 sec) 
Third = 0.000028 m/s 

Fourth = 10 km/sec = 10*1000 m/s (As 1 km = 1000 m and time is already in sec) 
Fourth = 10000 m/s 

So fastest would be the one who covers the largest distance in 1 sec. It would be the fourth one.

The overhead reach distances of adult females are normally distributed with a mean of 197.5 cm197.5 cm and a standard deviation

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

a) 5.37% probability that an individual distance is greater than 210.9 cm

b) 75.80% probability that the mean for 15 randomly selected distances is greater than 196.00 cm.

c) Because the underlying distribution is normal. We only have to verify the sample size if the underlying population is not normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 197.5, \sigma = 8.3$

a. Find the probability that an individual distance is greater than 210.9 cm

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 210.9. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{210.9 - 197.5}{8.3}$

$Z = 1.61$

$Z = 1.61$ has a pvalue of 0.9463.

1 - 0.9463 = 0.0537

5.37% probability that an individual distance is greater than 210.9 cm.

b. Find the probability that the mean for 15 randomly selected distances is greater than 196.00 cm.

Now $n = 15, s = \frac{8.3}{\sqrt{15}} = 2.14$

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 196. Then

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{196 - 197.5}{2.14}$

$Z = -0.7$

$Z = -0.7$ has a pvalue of 0.2420.

1 - 0.2420 = 0.7580

75.80% probability that the mean for 15 randomly selected distances is greater than 196.00 cm.

c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part (b), even though the sample size does not exceed 30?

The underlying distribution(overhead reach distances of adult females) is normal, which means that the sample size requirement(being at least 30) does not apply.
